Romney Picked a Slow News Day to Team Up with Trump

"And the Romney charter lands in Vegas. Right next to Trump's plane," ABC News' Emily Friedman tweeted at about 2:45p.m. eastern time Tuesday, which was retweeted a whole bunch of times. Images from every angle quickly followed in Zapruder-esque second-by-second analysis.
